I had a lot of fun staying here. There are three rooms for guests and two were occupied, including myself. It was nice having the host and family as well as another nice family of tourists. Our room had two bunk beds and a bathroom. There is no hot water here but hot water was not necessary with the hot weather! Charlie was a good host and guide and was able to set up any of the activities we wanted to do. He also charged very competitively and I paid him with a credit card. Very convenient. They called a taxi any time I needed one. It's a very reasonably priced 5 to 10 minute ride all the way across town so transportation is not an issue. One can easily walk too. There are a couple markets just a block away and a cafe very close too. We had a great time here!

Carlos is extremely helpful and very friendly. He has tons of experience and advice regarding Puerto Maldonado and makes sure you have a great, comfortable stay. The family is also very kind and welcoming! There is no hot water for showering but the city is far too warm and humid and we found the cold water very soothing. The private washroom is in the bedroom which was very convenient but it didn't have a door so privacy can be an issue if you're staying with a friend. The shower and sink often clog but overall the place was very clean and awesome! Thanks Carlos!

We have individuals, doubles, triples and quadruples bedrooms. All the bathrooms are shared. Our house is your house and we can share the kitchen. We also have a restroom with hammocks.
We are a family who loves to host and share what we know about the jungle with travellers.
We also propose tours during the day as well as night, for one day or three.

Our community is located in the middle of the jungle at 15 minutes away from the city and far away from the noise and pollution.
We are at 2 minutes walking from the river.

We are a small community of local people with a really good and respectfull energy.
We like receiving people and share what we know about the jungle with you!
We are several families so have some kids with us.

Roger and Maria were very accomodating hosts. They went above and beyond by making sure we have transportation to our next destination. Roger's tour is amazing - a must do if you stay with them. Knowing a little spanish will definitely help with your stay here. *****

Victor is a very nice host. He was waiting for us at the bus station when we arrived and helped us get a taxi to his house. He also offers a great tour to the rainforest :-)

Victor and everyone at El Gato are so welcoming and great. The bed was super comfortable and we had a wonderful time. I will warn that it was very loud while sleeping from dogs and roosters. But a great deal overall!

This review reminds me pretty hard, as the book was based on false images and ambiguous information. but I would like to emphasize: this would not have been the case, and everything would have been correctly described, I would have given four stars as the host and his family very nice, very helpful and anxious were we to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Only the price seems in retrospect to be a bit too high. ________________ The host was contacted by me before check-in twice. He has not responded both times. then two days prior to arrival he wrote to me and asked when we arrive so he can pick us up. I wrote back to him and pick up was carried out as agreed. We were greeted friendly and for a taxi and a smooth arrival at the Hostal has been taken care of. We got a clean room with fresh linens on both beds and clean mosquito nets. Unfortunately, the mattresses were pretty worn out and therefore not so pleasant. In addition, a mattress did not fit on the bed frame and moved by the fact again and again. The room was very simple. Two beds, two nightstands, a curtain in the middle of the room. Separately, the room was not a door to the corridor, but with a curtain. This closed opaque to the corridor from out. Outside, there was a covered patio with three hammocks, a chair, a table and a bench. This sector could use completely. In the garden, chickens, cats were and sneaked dogs inside when the door was opened to the street that did not belong to the hostel or the house, which was also in the garden. Unfortunately, our 1.5 years old daughter use this door often to run on the road. They had to be kept constantly in mind. Free run, his toddler can not therefore. In addition, another residential house was there where two families live. Outside, the toilets and showers were located. The shower and toilet was on the back of our room. This was separated by only a thin wall of about 2 m above had an opening (Peruvian typical design), so that noises and smells were clearly audible. Both shower and toilet were also to be closed by a curtain. In this wind blew away easily, so that the view of the user / user was free. so you had to always pay attention to the curtain. The toilet was used by all guests and unfortunately often dirty left behind. Toilet paper you had to get yourself. This was previously not informed us. The toilet paper one may in Peru, incidentally, do not throw in the toilet, but dispose of it in the next standing dustbin. Diesr was regularly emptied and cleaned the toilet regularly. The floors were repeatedly swept daily and mopped, because through the sandy soil outside often dirt came inside. you could use with the kitchen. A washing machine is available, but could only be used for a fee of 3 soles per 1 kg of laundry. The...

Anthony's eco-lodge/resort is going to be amazing once it's 100% complete. We stayed in Casa Sol. Gorgeous landscaping, rain shower (only cold temp), and really amicable dogs on the property. The house was equipped with a kitchen and downstairs/upstairs beds. We slept downstairs because we were so hot (we're from Seattle so we're not used to 93 degree weather). The TV is smart so you can launch Netflix from your phone if you want to watch something. Try unplugging and reconnecting the WiFi a few times (upstairs). It does work it's just finicky. If you need a pool you can take a cab 20 minutes down the street to Habana. It's 10 soles a person to swim and they have a watch tower that overlooks the river. Beautiful backyard and deck for yoga. You can also do yoga in the mornings at 7 (I was too tired to get up, but wanted to!). If you need any treks booked, Anthony knows the locals and can make some calls. We went to Lake Sandoval and saw giant river otters (highlight). There are two awesome restos in PM, Azodazo (cheap/sandwich café) and Burgos, which has a complimentary salad bar that's bomb. I highly suggest having Anthony arrange cabs for you at night. You can catch one outside on the road during the day. Overall, we loved our stay in PM and Anthony made us feel right at home.

We loved our stay, it didn't feel like it was still in the city, it was an excellent location. We were, however, disappointed that our tour guide for our morning tour guide didn't show up. After an hour of waiting, someone came into the office for the morning shift, and quickly found us a replacement, who was excellent! (That was just the reason we gave 4/5 stars.)

Bungalow is located in larger Wasai Eco Lodge Resort. Great location near the Plaza de Armas and the Madre de Dios River and the pool was fantastic. However, the host was unavailable and the internet was spotty and didn't reach to the bungalow where I stayed (contrary to the listing).

If you are looking to have one foot in the jungle and one foot in Puerto Maldonado, this is the place for you! My husband and I loved our stay here. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We did two separate full day trips with the help of the front desk for cheaper than a typical tour. The pool was a great escape from the heat and humidity. The breakfasts were really good and enough to start the day right. We were comfortable and happy and overall just really enjoyed our stay! Muchos gracias todos!

This is the nicest accommodation that I saw in Puerto Maldonado. And it felt like I was back at the summer camp I went to as a kid! The rooms are very basic and the hot water and electricity are not reliable. That being said, I think it's the same for anywhere in town. The food at the hotel was really good and the food in town was probably my favorite of our whole trip. The staff made some good recommendation of things for us to do and also arranged a great afternoon excursion for our family of nine.

Wow! We just arrived back from our stay and highly recommend it. Lucho and Toño are both fun, knowledgable, high energy guys who are looking to create an authentic jungle experience for their guests. As is noted, the accommodation is the bare minimum (no electricity, no hot water, good mosquito nets), but that made us appreciate the beauty of the property that much more. When the sun goes down, you'll truly hear the jungle come alive. We were fortunate to go with Toño on our first day to try fruit from the neighbor’s property (cacao, oranges, grapefruit, coconut, etc) and then tour Lago Sandoval with Lucho. Definitely message them for help coordinating tours, meals, etc. and they’ll take care of the rest While there are no guarantees, we were lucky to see monkeys a few times during our stay. There’s also a great mirador to watch the sunset high above the jungle canopy, just a few minutes walk from the lodge. Thank you for showing us the best of Puerto Maldonado!

Really nice place! Good place to stay to experience the jungle away from the city. Lucho, Juan, Ruzbert, etc were all very nice hosts! The lodging has good running cold water (great for the warm weather), mosquito bed nets, but no electricity (recommend bringing a headlamp/flashlight). But they did offer to charge our phones with their solar panel setup. Plus they offer meals. They're happy to help arrange excursions (hikes, nature walks, bird watching, zip lining). We enjoyed our stay!

Theresa2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

We had a really great time at luchos place and felt very welcomed by lucho and juan! we never missed electricity or warm water (we were happy about the cold shower ;) we loved the food juan cooked for us and lucho was a really good guide too (i want to have his ears, he knows every bird by its sound and can explain so much, really interesting!) i would defenitely recommend this place :)

The lodge Lucho really has it all: in the heart of the jungle, away from the bustle of the city, certainly rustic but it has everything we need. Do not hesitate to ask him to help you discover the secrets of the jungle, he will explain how to live the people, fauna and flora, some tricks of medicinal plants while exploring an unspoiled jungle mass tourism. It has even been spending side of Sandoval lake in the Tambopata Reserve. Unforgettable ! Muchas gracias Lucho!
